Page 12 COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE 7.1.2 Target Audience Gibsonville residents, school children, local businesses (including gas station owners) and industry, will be targeted because these groups have the most impact on stormwater pollution prevention.. 7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources The education program will target total suspended solids because turbidity and sedimentation are the pollutants of concern in impaired downstream waters. In addition, floatables, trash, and debris will also be targeted. The education program will also address the prgper use and disposal of typical household chemicals, garden chemicals, and used motor oil. 7.1.4 Outreach Program School programs, printed materials to be distributed via mail and public events, public television and radio, and participation in state cleanup programs will be used to reach the target audience. By using these methods, the education program will be expected to reach all residents of Gibsonville, as well as those that do business here, over the course of the five-year permit period. As a result of this outreach program, the target audience will be informed of the importance of reducing storm water pollution, and ways they can incorporate pollution reduction in their daily lives. 7.1.5 Decision Process The formation of the storm water public education and outreach program was based on the mechanisms currently in place, and their means and effectiveness of communicating and educating the public about the issues of stormwater pollution prevention. Each of the eight BMP's selected were judged to be an effective and economical tool for educating the general public and/or specific groups within the community, with a specific measurable goal with which to gauge its effectiveness_ 7.1.6 Evaluation The education and outreach program will be evaluated based on how each individual BMP is meeting its measurable goal at the end of each reporting period. Changes will be considered for any BMPs that are not meeting the measurable goals.

The route of the system, locations of pipes, drainage ditches, and outfalls will be added to the Town's GIS database. Approximately 25% of the MS4 will be mapped each year. The map will be updated as needed during subsequent maintenance operations. 7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism Amend the existing stormwater ordinance to include illicit detection, right of entry, and prohibition of certain non-stormwater discharges. 7.3.4 Enforcement: There will be provisions in the amended ordinance for enforcement actions and penalties for dumping, spills, and willful illicit connection. 7.3.5 Detection and Elimination After the field screening is complete, the Town will take measures to identify and remove illegal discharges. Identifying illegal discharges may require a combination of office and field work. After the field screening, staff will consult the jurisdiction -wide information they have compiled to obtain information about the land uses, infrastructure, industries, potential sources and types of pollution that may exist in the drainage area of the outfall. After priority areas have been identified in the office, a systematic field investigation will be planned that minimizes the amount of resources required to identify the source. The following field methods may be used to identify and trace the source of illegal discharges: • Site Investigation • Dry weather flow observations Smoke Testing/Dye Testing • Television Inspection The right of entry established in the amended ordinance will provide access for inspection if the origin of the discharge is in doubt. Once an illegal discharge is located and confirmed through field screening, staff will notify the responsible party verbally if possible and follow-up with written notification. If the responsible party does not comply with the removal schedule provided by the Town, or receive approval for a revised schedule, the Town will take enforcement action and the connection will be removed at the responsible party's expense. Page 17 COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE 7.3.6 Non Stormwater Discharges Currently there are no Known non-stormwater discharges that are a significant contributor to the MS4. If any are identified in the future, they will be addressed at that time. 7.3.7 Outreach Town employees will be informed of the hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste as part of their general training requirements. These will be addressed in the Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping section of this plan, and will include training in hazardous material handling and disposal, as well as notices and signs posted in the appropriate areas. The general public will be educated through the BMP's listed in the Public Education section of this plan. These educational BMP's will include brochures, public service announcements, and business education and outreach programs. 7.3.8 Decision Process The formation of the storm water Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program was based primarily on regulatory mechanisms. The regulatory, educational, procedural BMP's selected were judged to be an effective means of detecting and eliminating illicit discharges. 7.3.9 , Evaluation The effectiveness of the program will be gauged by the total number of illicit connections detected and removed each year. If the total number remains constant, or increases, changes will be made to the public education program and/or the Town ordinance to allow for greater enforcement and penalties 7.4 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORMWATER RUNOFF CONTROL The Town of Gibsonville will rely on the North Carolina State Erosion and Sediment Control Program and the Department of Water Quality's general stormwater permit program for construction activities to meet the construction 'site stormwater runoff control requirement. 7.5 POST -CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT 7.5.1 Stormwater Management Options The existing land usage ordinance will be amended to include a post - construction stormwater runoff management program for new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than, or equal to, one acre. This Page 18 COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE includes projects of.less than one acre that are a park of a larger common plan of development or sale that discharges into the MS4. All such projects shall be required to apply for locally issued construction permit coverage under one of the following stormwater management options: 7.5.1.1 Low Density Projects Projects shall be permitted as low density if the project meets the following: (1) No more than 2 dwelling units per acre or 24 percent built -upon area (BUA) for allgresidential and non-residential development; (11) Stormwater runoff from the development shall be transported from the. development by vegetated conveyances to the maximum extent practicable. (111) All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all perennial and intermittent surface waters. For the purpose of this Rule, a surface water shall be present if the feature is approximately shown on either the most recent version of the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS). An exception to this requirement may be allowed when surface waters are not present in accordance with the provisions of 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (3)(a); and (IV) The permit shall require recorded deed restrictions and protective covenants to ensure that development activities maintain the development consistent with the approved project plans. 7.5.1.2 High Density Projects Projects exceeding the low density threshold (established above in low density section) shall implement stormwater control measures that: (1) Control and treat the difference in stormwater runoff volume leaving the project site between the pre and post development conditions for the 1 year 24 hour storm. Runoff volume drawdown time shall be a minimum of 24 hours, but not more than 120 hours; Page 19 COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE (I1) All. structural stormwater treatment systems used to meet the requirements of the program shall be designed to have an 85% average annual removal for Total Suspended Solids. (II1) General Engineering Design Criteria for all projects shall be in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .1008(c); (IV) All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all perennial and intermittent surface waters. For the purpose of this Rule, a surface water shall be present if the feature is approximately shown on either the most recent version of the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture'or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS). An exception to this requirement may be .allowed when surface waters are not present in accordance with the provisions of 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (3)(a); and (V) The permit shall require recorded deed restrictions and protective covenants to ensure that development activities maintain the development consistent with the approved project plans; 7.5.2 Non -Structural BMP's The receiving streams in the Town's watershed are classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters; therefore the amended ordinance shall also ensure that the best management practice for reducing nutrient loading is implemented. In addition, a nutrient application (both inorganic fertilizer and organic nutrients) management program shall be developed and included in the stormwater management program.

In addition to assessing these existing documents and programs, the Town will provide opportunities to the public to participate in the development of the program. The existing land usage ordinance will then be amended to include a post -construction stormwater runoff management program for new development and redevelopment. 7.5.6 Operation and Maintenance The existing land usage ordinance will be amended to address the long-term operation and maintenance of post -construction controls. The amended ordinance will include guidelines for delegating routine and non -routine maintenance responsibilities to ensure access for inspections, and providing a mechanism for enforcement. 7.5.7 Decision Process The post construction stormwater management program shall ensure that controls are in place that will prevent or minimize water quality impacts from new development and redevelopment projects. These controls should include an amended ordinance to address post -construction runoff control from new development and redevelopment projects and ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs. 7.5.8 Evaluation The post construction site management for new and re -development activities program will be evaluated based on how each individual BMP is meeting its measurable goal at the end of each reporting period. Changes will be considered for any BMPs that are not meeting the measurable goals.

Operations at the maintenance facility include vehicle washing, public water treatment, a garbage transfer area, mist. chemical storage, a refueling area, and yard waste/mulch area. No vehicle or equipment repair or maintenance operations take place at this facility. 7.6.3 Training Training materials will be developed on pollution prevention for public facilities, using similar materials as will be used in the public outreach program. All employees will be educated annually on the need for controls to protect stormwater from exposure to potential pollutants. This training will also serve as the training requirement for public employees as specified in the outreach component of the Illicit Discharge section of this program. All public employees involved in vehicle, open space, or building maintenance operations will be provided training in BMPs, processes and materials they are working with, safety hazards, practices for preventing discharges, and procedures for responding quickly and properly to toxic and hazardous material incidents. This training will be in conjunction with the training requirements of the future Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures plan. All public employees involved in stormwater drainage system maintenance will be specifically trained in the disposal of floatables, grit, sediment, and other pollutants removed from the system. Additional training, or certification, will be provided to employees that manage and apply chemicals for control of dust, pests, vermin, and weeds and/or to enhance the ,growth or condition of public urban landscape and recreation facilities. Training will target the safe and effective application, storage and disposal of chemicals used. 7.6.4 Maintenance and Inspections A preventive maintenance program will be developed that will include routine inspections of catch basins, storm water detention areas, and roof downspouts at the municipal building. A similar program will be implemented for vehicles, equipment, and material storage areas in the maintenance yard. Inspections will ensure all equipment and material storage containers are in good condition. Any problems or issues that may have an impact on stormwater quality will be noted and corrective action - taken. Vehicle washing and fueling operations will be inspected annually to ensure that they are in good working order and that they minimize exposure of stormwater to chemicals, fuels, and other liquids. Schedules and procedures will be established for the inspections, and an record - keeping system will be implemented to schedule and document inspections. Page 26 COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE 7.6.5 Vehicular Operations Good housekeeping BMPs and controls will be implemented over the five-year permit period to reduce or eliminate the discharge of pollutants in stormwater from the maintenance facility. The vehicle washing operation will be modified to properly treat and/or dispose of the wash wastewater. The garbage transfer area will be evaluated to reduce exposure to stormwater. All unnecessary chemicals, oils, solvents, etc. will be properly disposed of and a current chemical inventory will be developed and maintained. Spill protection in the chemical storage areas will be addressed and all stockpiled soil, asphalticoncrete, and scrap metal will also be properly disposed of. Any unnecessary or unused equipment will be stored in covered areas, or removed from the maintenance yard. The maintenance yard has a 3000 gallon refueling station for vehicles and equipment, and is therefore required to develop a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures {SPCA plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112.7. The resulting plan will provide information and procedures for the storage and handling of any petroleum products stored onsite. The vehicle and equipment refueling area will also be modified to minimize the potential for spills that occur during the fuel transfer process to impact to stormwater runoff. An area within the facility will be scrap metal. Stormwater impacts use of engineered controls, which erosion control measures. 7.6.6 Waste Disposal designated for temporary storage of soil and from this area will be minimized through the may include covering the area, or providing The Town operates a residential garbage collection service for the Town, which consists of two garbage trucks. A trash collection service is also maintained for items such as old furniture, appliances, etc., which are collected and deposited in a contracted, roll -off dumpster at the maintenance facility. Collected metal items are temporarily stored on -site until removed by a metal recycler. Household recyclables collection is contracted out to a private company. Yard waste is collected by the Town and composted in a separate area at the maintenance facility. 7.6.7 Flood Management Projects Future flood management projects will be reviewed from a water quality standpoint. 7.6.8 Existing ordinances No ordinances exist which specifically address illicit discharges, post construction stormwater runoff control, or discharges to nutrient sensitive waters. Page 27 COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE 7.6.9 Other evaluations There are no other aspects of the municipal operation that have been previously evaluated. 7.6.10 Decision Process The most effective and practical BMPs for minimizing stormwater pollution were selected for this program. 7.6.11 Evaluation The pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations program will be evaluated based on how etch individual BMP is meeting its measurable goal at the end of each reporting period. Changes will be considered for any BMPs that are not meeting the measurable goals.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality I11G12002 THE TOWN OF GIBSONViLLE DELENO FLYNN, TOWN MANAGER 129 W. MAIN STREET GIBSONVILLE, NC 27249-2442 Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program Deleno Flynn: In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program was promulgated under the Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is the next step in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted storm water runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to control stormwater runoff. Phase II is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of stormwater discharges that have the greatest likelihood of causing continued environmental degradation. The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census. We are writing to you to remind you that the Town of Gibsonville has been identified as being located within a census designated urbanized area in both the 1990 and 2000 decennial census. As a regulated community, you are required to develop a stormwater management program and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small MS4 or file a certification that the 7bwn of Gibsonville does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting your application package or non -ownership certification is March 10, 2003. Application and certification documents, as well as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site.
